Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

Will you beat the trade-in value?

Our offers can usually beat your trade-in price. Let us know when submitting your enquiry about any current offers you have on your vehicle, and we’ll take it into consideration.

FAQ icon

Will my service history affect the price given online for my vehicle?

It’s possible that your service history can affect the price. If you have a great service history and your car is in good condition, it will likely be of more value, and this will be reflected in our offer.

FAQ icon

Is the price subject to inspection?

We won’t arrange an in-person inspection of your vehicle; however, we will inspect the images you send through. Before payment, our driver will quickly verify the condition, and then you’ll receive your funds.

FAQ icon

I want to sell my car, but it is still under finance; can you help?

As a licensed motor vehicle dealer, 1800 Salvage generally cannot purchase vehicles that still have finance owing. However, we may be able to help remove any existing encumbrance.

If our vehicle purchase offer is higher than the amount owing to your finance company, we can use a valid payout letter to arrange the contract payout and transfer any remaining funds to you. If the offer covers the full amount required to clear the finance, we can pay your lender directly in exchange for the vehicle.

For more information about this process, speak with our friendly team today.

FAQ icon

Are you a car dealer?

No, we are licensed motor car traders; we aren’t dealers. Because we aren’t a dealership, you can’t trade in your vehicle with us or purchase anything from us.
